I have always wanted to complete a 365 project, I say complete as I have embarked on the journey a number of times but get lost in the deluge of everyday life. There is no doubt a great deal of satisfaction and learning in the process of taking a photograph everyday, ten Seven by Five readers did just that the results are spectacular.
As Abby Elliot comments “Completing a 365 project, while there are days that I did not want to pick up my camera, was incredibly satisfying; especially when seeing the final product. The subject being the first year of life of my biological child made the project both easier and harder; it’s easy to want to photograph your child, but it’s hard sometimes to be creative when you’re photographing the EXACT same subject every day. All in all, I feel it is a great final product that shows the first year of his life in an accurate and beautiful way.”

Completing it was difficult, but worth it. It changed the way I shot, forced me to be creative but in a way that still got results, and let me see so much more of my immediate surroundings than I thought possible.

The 365 photo project made me look at everything as a potential photo and improved my composition & discipline.

Not necessarily artistic, although I do tend to be on occasion. Just a photo document of 2010, all taken with my iPhone so I can use the geotagging.

“I decided to start my 365 project for 2010 about an hour before the year itself started, but glad that I did. My project was very much ‘unplanned’ from that point onwards, rather than preparing shots I decided to go with what I found on my travels to use for each shot each day. Luckily I came across some interesting finds!
I feel that the 365 has improved my ability and knowledge of my camera, and also taught me the most important rule of photography… keep your camera on you if at all possible.”

Day 365 – Done!: It’s over! I’ve finally got through one year documenting every day with a photo. It’s been fun and I’ve ended up recording an important year of my life; first proper job, moved out of home, set a date to get married, shot my first festival and my first winter wedding.
On top of that I’ve shot some GREAT bands – juts off the top of my head my faves were Biffy Clyro, Paramore, Lamb of God, Job For a Cowboy, ZZ Top, Papa Roach, Steel Panther…it goes on!

Well, in any case I think 365 project it’s a good excuse to make a little summary, even if I don’t take photos of myself the shots I make are of the things around me, that means in one or other sense my life…

started my 365 photo project with the intention that I’d use a combination of DSLR equipment plus my iPhone but quickly realized the capabilities of my little tech toy; yes the iPhone. The project was definitely a test of commitment but I was up for the challenge and used it as a learning experience more than anything.
I didn’t have any sort of daily routine or theme but made it a point to get something by days end. Some days were heavily creative and well others were like pulling teeth.
The iPhone was the saving grace as I could shoot, edit and post to my blog all within minutes of capturing the days photo. As stoked as I am to complete a 365 photo project it will be some time before I take on the challenge again. If you want to become proficient using an iPhone or any camera for that matter than do a 365!

The project grew my artistic talents significantly, as well as cost me a heck of a lot of money.

If you have embarked on a 365 project on flickr why not let us know in the comments. It will be interesting to see how everyone gets on.
Started it on my birthday – interested to see where it takes me and I take it for the next candle!
Good luck to all!
Cheers,
Thanks for featuring my 365 and congrats to the others as well!
Two friends of mine are currently in the process of doing a 365 :

I’m actually doing this. I added an “extra” challenge by calling my series Project 365: Moving Pictures. Each one needs to be taken while I’m moving: riding my bike, out walking, working out… Pretty much anything active. So far, so good… And a great creative project for me. http://www.flickr.com/photos/soozed/
Hi
I´ve started my own 365 Project. The main theme is “365 Days without Humans”.
http://365project.org/ralfrod/365
I’m almost 90 days into my 365 Project, and there have been very good days, and very bad days. All in all, a very rewarding experience, so far.
Thanks for linking up to this again. It’s nice to be in such creative company.
I should say that this year my goal is to not miss any days! Of the the 365 days of last year I was missing 11 days.
So far so good in 2011:

I did mine in 2007….

A crappy start, a stronger finish. I learned composition and, by the end, how to make a photo, not just take a picture.
I still break out in a cold sweat thinking about doing it again, though….
My 365 went from 2007-2008. I was amazed at the end what it told me about my life, myself.
Just started mine yesterday!
iPhone 4 + Hipstamatic
Imagination.
Nothing else.
Enjoy.
Thanks for the outstanding job you do at Seven by Five. I started following you from here in the Seattle area on Twitter a few weeks back off a friend’s recommendation. This 365 project helps me just as I reach the halfway mark on my own: http://web.me.com/jimbellomo/2011_Photos_of_the_Day/Welcome.html
These are outstanding. Especially love Rickman’s
here it is my 365 project mates!!

take a look 😉 comment and fave! 😀 thanks a lot!!
I started my 365 Project on September 1 this year with the challenge being that all the images would be captured using the iPhone. Images are posted at Flickr, 365Project, and 500px (I prefer how 500px displays images but cross post because some folks prefer other formats).

I’ve been shooting 365 projects since 2002. 2002-2004 were shot on film, while 2005-2010 are digital. You can view the early yrs on my site http://www.scotthuck.com
I called them pic-a-days before Project 365’s were popular.
Toward the end of December 2009 I decided I wanted to do something different than just taking a picture a day (pic-a-day) … so 2010 I took a photo of a person everyday (-6 days) using my 50mm f/1.8. You can view the project on my Flickr site:

I would really enjoy feedback or comments …
I planned on continuing the project in 2011 but in April I had the majority of my camera equipment stolen including most of my project images on my laptop (I went through a little post traumatic syndrome) & could not get going again. I plan to start again in in 2012 including a Project 52 where I take a Polaroid image once a week.

Did mine in 2010, best thing for my photography I ever did. Thought I would quit several times, but it eventually became almost an obsession. Given how things have stagnated in 2011, I think I might try it again next year.

I completed my 365 project on October 8th 2011. I started it while I was on a semester abroad in Australia (I’m from France).
I’m happy I got to do it, because it was the year I most traveled around, visiting Australia and New Zealand. Going back home was difficult, because I had to look at my hometown in a different way, the photography way. That 365 gave me a different eye than before my semester abroad.
